The I1OuIslana Republicans.

About half of those nominated at the State
Convention of the Louisiana Republicans, in
New Orleans the other day, have announced
their purpose to withdraw from the ticket. They
have had enough politics in Louisiana of the Re-
men in the convention and it was composed of
$40 delegates. 1t was a very lively convention,
as all conventions are in which the colored ele-
ment predominates. The ticket, of course, will
have to be reconstructed. There is only one
colored man among the nominees, but he will
not withdraw. A Louisiana colored Republican
never retires from race for an Office.
The nominee for Governor, II. G. Warmoth,
was not anxious for place on the ticket 1t re.
quired good deal OF coaxing TO get his consent
to the use of his name. Twenty years ago he
was elected Governor. He was only 28 then,
and the law relative to the eligibility of Gov
ernor had TO be changed before he could dis
charge his official duties. There were very lively
times in Louisiana during his term of Office
them, and Warmoth will wish that he had kept
out of State politics before the campaign is over
Warmoth is rich now, and enjoys degree Of
respect and esteem among the sugar planters
and sugar merchants that no one, dozen years
ago. would have thought could possibly be his
Time works wonderful changes, however, and
Warmoth is man of much more than ordinary
ability, and knows how to make friends When
helentered the: Governors Office in 1868 he was
as poor as church mouse. When bis term ex-
pired he was a rich young man. How he made
his money the public never knew, and dosen't
know yet.
1t is not probable that the Republican leaders
Of Louisiana have any hope Of carrying that
State All they hope 10 do is to make such
showing tia if the Republican party should by
any chance get control Of the government
again they would be in a position to demand
recognition. They will try to get out pretty
big vote in the Presidential election, but the
party is 30 Thoroughly disorganized that they
will not accomplish agreat deal in that direc.

Tombstone epitaph., 1887-08-27

A Mexican employe of the water stor- age company at Walnut Grove was mobbed on the night of the 9th inst. by several disguised men. The Mexican had been working for quite a time and was supposed to have considerable money. The idea seems to prevail that the object of the mob was to make him disgorge, but in this they were foiled, as he did not have the money with him. He was strung up several times, and when it was certain that they could not get the filthy lucre, they let him down and left him to recover his senses. He claims to have recognized two of the men, but through fear he made no com. plant and no arrests were made. He left the country in few days.

All lavit Men in Ds nand.

Since tne anr"u ,ce nent made by Mr. Goodrich fore the City Council few
 vening> since. that he intended to over throw the Mountain Maid title by affi. davits showing the non mineral character of the land, he has been overwhelmed win offers made by old timers, many of whom were here before the Gadsden purchase. and hence alw,ys knew that the claim cont t,ined no min.ral. In fact, all the old "bums" and dead beats of he city have b.en galvinized into new life in the h 'pe of hand ing few pieces of silver, as reward for their valuable knowledge of underground conditions, T. sho vn surface indications.

 Affidavit of Patrick Delaney: Says upon oath that he is m,ner by occupa- tion, and a resident of Tombstone. Knows the Mountain Maid mining claim. Worked upon, and helped to sink shaft number one on said mine, near the cor ner of Second and Allen streets. Com. menced work when shaft was about 5 feet deep, about February B, 1880, and continued work until about April 6, 1880. Shaft was then 65 feet deep. In sinking shaft we found kidneys and spurs of ore, from time to time, throughout its depth. An we'll acquainted with silver bearing ores, and know that the kidneys and spurs above referred to was ore contain. ing silver.

ing claim, in the Tombstone Mining District, lying north of the Vizina. That said claim was located February $, 1879. We commenced work on the discovery shaft on the claim February ?, 1880. The bottom of the shaft was in ore at that time. The shaft is now more than 50 feet in depth and in ore. Ore found at intervals from the time we commenced sinking in said shaft until it was con- pleted. The assays from said shaft ranged from five to forty dollars per ton. Shaft was completed April 6, 1880.
 Affidavit of Charles Calhoun: Was one ofthe locators of the Mountain Maid Mining clam, situated north of the Vizina mine. Said mining clam was located February 25, lS79 Commenced work upon said claim within one week from the date of location and ore was struck about five feet from the. surface. The ore continued at intervals to the bottom oi the shaft, which is over fifty feet deep. had assays from said shaft that went as high as five dollars to the ton.
 Affidavit of John Conley and Joseph Knowland: Say on oath that they took a piece of ore from the Mountain Maid Mining claim for the purpose of having an assay made. Took same to com petent assayer and got seventy nlne dollars per ton as the result of said assay, that being the amount of silver contained in the rock, and believe tha, to be a corrcc! representation of the silver contained in the ore.

A MANUFACTUREp BOARD.

The EPITAPH rather enjoys the posi- ton in which it has been placed by the Democratic Board of Supervisors of this county. That body, majority of whom are only Supervisors by the grace of the County Treasurer, Probate Judge and the ex-Chairman, and one of whom at least has proven not to be the choice of the people at the polls, have seen fit to commence a little underhanded fight against this paper. And we repeat that the EpITAPH enjoys it. Like the Irish man, we prefer to be "ferninst the gov ernment," especially when that govern. ment is rotten and corrupt. We are not yet prepared to say that the Board is corrupt, and yet there are certain transactions which look very much like it. For instance, how does this look: The job whereby Messrs. Cohn and Moore were elected to fill vacancies was fixed up in the office Of the County Treasurer, who is we'll known to be the principal owner of the Prospector. That paper must have patronage, and consequently the Board must do the bidding of Ritter in order to help him out. We have great respect for MT. Ritter, and do not blame him in the least for working for the interests of his paper. We are doing the same. Our contempt lies merely against the tools he uses to accomplish hls ends. And yet we call his attention to Section 90 of Chap'er 6, of the new code, which pro- h,bu> hun absolu ely from being inter ested, either directly or indirectly, in any dem aga,nst the county for other than h,s salary. This applies 70 paupers' coffins as we'll as to new papers.
 While we are up the subject there is another matter which the appointive
 Board have evidently overlooked. The law requires that upon every question that comes before that body the vote of each Supervisor shall be recorded in the minutes. This plain duty has been neglected. Why? The law says that each Supervisor who shall draw an un- authorized warrant shall be liable on his bond for the amount, and it makes it the du,y of the District Attorney to begin suit. We have in mind a certain bill which was paid twice by the county for the item of printing bonds, one of which allowances must certainly have been unwarranted. If the vote of the Super visors is not recorded, their responsibility is not known. Seer
 Another matter. The law requires the Board to advertise for bids for doing the county printing, such advertisement to be published once week for four weeks.
 But our manufactured Board, evidently i thinking themselves higher power than the law, have decreed that only daily will do. We'll, we'll see about that after the bids are opened. On more than one occasion the EpIrAPH has proven itself bigger than the Board of Supervisors, and we are ready to try conclusions again. And, furthermore, since the Board have annulled the EPITAPH's con- tract on technicality, we shall see what writ of gao ava,vanto will do if they fail or neglect to receive bids presented m regular form by weekly newspaper. You have opened the ball, gentlemen, and the EPITApH is no respecter of persons who tread on the tail of its coat, be they Jews or Gen!iles.
